Clients come to her for many concerns including stress, panic disorder and panic attacks, trauma, relationship and family issues, grief, and changes in life roles. She also supports people facing struggles with identity, intimacy, sleep, parenting, anger, and low self-esteem. Additional focus areas include blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication or commitment problems.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. Online sessions using this approach let the client set goals and guide the conversation while the therapist reflects and helps them clarify next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. In an online setting this often means homework like journaling, thought records, and short skill practices between sessions to reduce anxiety and address panic symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be taught in short modules and practiced during and between online appointments to help manage intense emotions and impulsivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, support regular practice of skills between meetings, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day.
